Out of all the people who have ever existed. If you could pick a poker table full of legends modern day or of past ages or a mix of both. Who would you have/who would your group be. Who do you think would make an interesting game.
I'd deffo have Nikola Tesla, Leonardo da Vinci, Sigmeund Freud, Derren Brown (as long as hes proven to be playing fairly.) I'd probably have Robert de Niro there to show off his bluffing skills aswell. I'd throw in Phil Hellmuth also just for legendary explosions.

If that was possible, there is one character that couldn't miss his spot on my table: that poker gambler from Lucy Luke's comic books. He represents a lot of what poker was in the begining in USA, and he would defenitely have a place there. Then, on his side, Doyle Brunson (20 years younger than now, which would be even more interesting), Izildur1, Tony G, Phil Ivey, and the best poker players i have as friends, portuguese players Phounder and Zemuck. With me, that would be a 8 players table, and i bet it would be a very nice night of action!

i would definitely would like to get in touch with some people from the past but not to play poker with. That would have been the definition of time wasting for sure. A simple walk with some silly chat would have been more interesting than playing poker.
some are pretty hot, but i guess they would only be good for strip poker. it depends what would you expect from the game- just to sit next to celebrities, have a discussion about the topic you love, or see what your skills against poker pro's would look like- there are many options, so i will stay undeciced

Hi Sadmannan.
Interesting post. I think I would like to play against the following people:
Maggie Thatcher (Before she lost her marbles) Jack the Ripper (Possibly a relative of mine - checked out ancestor in Whitechapel who was butcher at time). Henry VIII Lord Lucan Phil Helmuth My grandfather - just so he can meet one of the relatives - see above. (and introduced me to dog racing). Pochui - just to meet the man who puts a lot into this forum.(Well done mate). Doyle Brunson - just to add some class - hell of a player......
And me!!! - Just so show them all how to play (I wish).
To deal I would have that dealer from Cincinatti Kid - before Paul Newman lost !!!
)) 
no doubt that my head would be up most of the time
